Chapter 481 Different People, Different Tastes
I walked into the hot pot restaurant in the sunset and came out when the lights were already illuminating the night.
The two girls said they were full and needed to take a walk to digest the food, while the other two boys had no objection.
The group came to a nearby square.
Lu You and Tang Wan walked in front hand in hand, whispering from time to time, looking extremely intimate.
Wang Linghua and Deng Rui followed behind, one in front and one behind, with a distance between them.
Deng Rui looked at the two pairs of arms entangled in front of him, then looked at the slightly blurry profile hidden in the night beside him. The gossip in his mind grew like weeds.
"Comrade Wang Linghua, can I interview you?"
Without even turning her head, Wang Linghua said coldly, "No."
Deng Rui acted as if he didn't hear her, and continued to talk to himself: "How do you feel when you see the boy you like being affectionate with your best friend?"
Wang Linghua immediately stopped and slowly turned her head.
Without saying a word, Deng Rui immediately took a big step away from Wang Linghua to avoid the attack range.
Unexpectedly, Wang Linghua was not angry, but said calmly: "In exchange for the same value, you tell me about the girl in your junior high school, and I will tell you how I feel now."
Fearing that Wang Linghua might suddenly attack and hurt someone, Deng Rui remained alert and said, "Okay, but I have the right to choose whether to answer."
Wang Linghua nodded and said, "It makes sense."
"You ask first."
"her name."
"Is the start so direct?" Deng Rui couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
"I never play tricks." Wang Linghua smiled faintly.
"I'm sorry I can't answer that."
"Why? Could it be someone I know?" Wang Linghua's eyes lit up and she made a bold guess.
"Please change the question." Deng Rui knew very well that the more you talk, the more mistakes you make, so he simply kept quiet.
Wang Linghua was unwilling, but due to the rules, she couldn't force Deng Rui to answer.
"Do you still miss her?"
Deng Rui considered it carefully and replied cautiously with four words, "I remember it occasionally."
Wang Linghua cursed inwardly, "The man is cunning."
Remembering and remembering seem to be the same, but there are some differences. Both are stored in memory, but the latter has more emotions than the former.
In order to prevent Wang Linghua from asking questions, Deng Rui took over the right to speak and said, "I have already answered your question. It's your turn now."
Wang Linghua glared at Deng Rui fiercely and walked forward.
Deng Rui followed immediately, and just when he thought Wang Linghua was going to cheat, a girl's clear voice rang out.
"To be honest, I felt extremely uncomfortable when I saw their intimate behavior in the early days. It was like a fire was burning inside me. All kinds of negative emotions were like a flood that flooded into my brain uncontrollably. To tell you the truth, I even had some darker thoughts. Later, after seeing them more often and having a straightforward conversation, I gradually got used to it and can now basically treat it with a normal attitude."
"Interview? Interview with whom? The Master or Tang Wan?" Deng Rui asked.
"You want to know?" Wang Linghua turned to look at Deng Rui and smiled, "I won't tell you!"
"Isn't it childish for an adult to play the same trick as a child?" Deng Rui said speechlessly.
"I'd love to!" Wang Linghua was in a very good mood after finally making Deng Rui suffer a setback.
At this time, Lu You, who was walking in front, received a call from Li Yu.
【Dude, where are you? 】
"you arrived?"
While speaking, Lu You waved towards the back, signaling Deng Rui, Wang Linghua and others to come over.
[No, I've been waiting for half an hour, and you're asking me if I've arrived yet? ]
"Are you really waiting or just pretending to wait?"
[Do I need to lie to you? 】
"Hard to say."
Lu You still remembers asking Li Yu to go out and play in junior high school. She asked him if he had come downstairs yet. He said he was almost down, but in fact he was still lying in bed.
"Please wait for a moment. We will take a walk in the square beside the road and will be there soon."
[You guys are nearby, right? ]
"Yes." Lu You looked at a colorful building in the distance and estimated, "About 200 meters away."
[Okay, I'm getting in the car, we'll be there soon.]
"You!"
……
A quarter of an hour later.
The group of six gathered in front of the KTV.
Lu You came up and gave Li Yu a flying kick.
It would have been fine if he was not punctual in the past, but he did it again today when there were so many people around. Lu You was merciful by not beating him to death.
The group walked through the door, registered their information at the front desk, received two microphones, plus a microphone cover for each person, and then, under the guidance of the waiter, came to the private room that had been booked in advance.
The box is spacious, about the size of a classroom. The circular blue light strips posted on the walls, combined with the overall square and arc-shaped decoration style, create a sci-fi atmosphere.
The ceiling also uses the same blue light, matched with starry sky wallpaper and spherical lights that imitate the appearance of the moon, the splendor and brilliance of the universe comes to the fore.
Lu You silently gave a thumbs up in his heart.
This sci-fi cosmic style decoration is indeed not ugly.
"If you need anything, please press the call button on the wall. Have a good time, everyone." The waiter politely left and closed the door.
Li Yu, holding the microphone, rushed to the song-ordering machine and began to choose songs with great interest. The others sat on the sofas one after another.
The three girls were fiddling with things on the table, such as tablets and dice, while Deng Rui was looking around curiously.
As far as he can remember, KTV and Internet cafes were considered bad places by his parents. All the people who went to these two places were bad boys and girls, and he was strictly forbidden to enter.
Now that he has grown up and finally entered the society, Deng Rui naturally has to take a good look and reshape his past perceptions that were demonized.
Soon, Li Yu selected the song he wanted to sing, tested the two microphones again to make sure the sound was normal, and then shouted to Lu You: "Brother, stop playing around, come over and sing!"
"Here we go." Lu You stood up and walked to Li Yu's side. He took a microphone and put on the microphone cover. "What's the first song?"
Li Yu cleared his throat, uttered "ahh" twice, and replied: "As usual, let's sing "The King and the Beggar" first to get into the groove."
"The King and the Beggar", sung by Hua Chenyu and Yang Zongwei, is one of the few songs that the Master sings normally, and the tune and lyrics are also very good.
Lu You quickly recalled the song and asked, "Which part do you sing?"
"As usual, I'll sing Yang Zongwei and you'll sing the father of the child."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yu pressed the play button of the music accompaniment.
A sad, broken string music sounded in the box.
The four people on the sofa all turned their eyes to Lu You and Li Yu in front of the TV.
"Hey." Tang Wan poked Xu Nian's waist and asked softly, "Does your boyfriend sing well?"
Xu Nian rested his right hand on his knee, supporting his cheek, and replied: "How would I know? He has never sung in front of me."
"He always lets slip a few words when he takes a shower at night, right?"
"What you said, do you think everyone lives with their boyfriend like you?"
Lu You stared at the lyrics subtitles on the screen. As the countdown ended, the main song officially began.
Lu You mobilized his emotions and started singing along with the accompaniment.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? A love has lost its luster. Face to face, back to back, struggling over and over again, it hurts no matter how hard we try."
Maybe it was because I hadn’t sung for a long time. I sang the first part of the opening in a fragmented way. Although I didn’t sing out of tune, that was the only limit. The details of my voice and the emotional investment were all based on the defense.
However, this was only Lu You's unilateral thought. For the four listeners behind him, Lu You's abnormal performance was enough to amaze them.
"How do you think this person is good at singing, studying, sports, appearance and family background? It's too outrageous!" Wang Linghua exclaimed sincerely.
"I guess he should carry a system with him." Xu Nian said seriously.
Wang Linghua nodded seriously and said, "It could also be the reincarnation of a big shot from some other world."
Tang Wan raised her glass and drank water, secretly giving Wang Linghua a thumbs up.
"I thought love was as solid as stone, but it shattered in a second. Does heartache have to be constantly polished?"
After singing the first section, Lu You took a short break.
It's Yang Zongwei's turn.
Li Yu put the microphone to her lips, closed her eyes, and scenes from healing animations such as "Clannad" and "Your Lie in April" flashed through her mind.
It hurts, it hurts too much!
"I, holding you tightly, am richer than a king. I was so happy~"
Regardless of how well Li Yu sings, the emotion is truly there.
Lu You couldn't help but look sideways.
Byd, you are so devoted to singing, could something really have happened at home?
There was no time to think about it because it was Lu You's turn to sing.
"After losing you, I feel worse than a beggar. The pain is so profound."
Influenced by Li Yu, Lu You gradually regained his form and sang a long and ethereal weak mixed high-pitched chant.
Tang Wan looked at Lu You's back, with countless little stars popping out of her eyes.
No, it’s unbearable, there’s going to be a flood!
Lu You finished singing and Li Yu continued.
"One is crying, the other is laughing, one person plays two roles. The more obsessed, the more tormented, and memories are still fanning the flames. Knowing that moving forward will lead to fall, holding on to regret and returning to loneliness, what is left after love ends!!!"
Li Yu tried his best, veins in his neck bulged, and he successfully withstood Yang Zongwei's high note.
Afterwards, the two took turns cooperating and successfully performed the entire song.
"Huh~" Li Yu let out a long sigh, and her right hand holding the microphone dropped naturally, "It's so cool to sing!"
Lu You asked Tang Wan to pour him a glass of water to moisten his dry and itchy throat.
The way the kid’s father sings is a bit torturous.
"Still singing?"
Li Yu was obviously not satisfied and replied, "Sing! One song is not enough!"
"Stop singing high notes for me. It's tiring."
"Don't worry, the next one will be easy."
Soon after he finished speaking, a new MV started playing on the TV screen.
"Love a Little More" - Wang Leehom, Zhang Ziyi
A series of question marks appeared above the heads of the three girls behind at the same time.
What the hell?
Lu You was also speechless. Doing this in front of his girlfriend?
Li Yu didn't think there was anything wrong and went straight to singing Zhang Ziyi's part.
"The wind blows the window and the leaves make a sound, and the dream is wandering to a farther place."
Different from the previous "The King and the Pauper", "A Little Love" is a duet love song between a man and a woman, emphasizing emotional interaction.
Li Yu in particular acted as if he was having a seizure, throwing affectionate glances from time to time, almost making Lu You sick.
Tang Wan and Xu Nian smiled and held up their cell phones to record the entire duet. Wang Linghua, who was standing by, was breathing rapidly and clenching her fists in excitement.
She only regretted that she was not strong enough to fight four people alone, otherwise she would definitely rush up and smash their heads together.
As he was deeply traumatized, after singing "A Little Love", Lu You took off his talk cover, put the microphone on the table, and sat next to Tang Wan to recuperate.
"Brother, it's only two songs and you're exhausted in less than ten minutes. You're too weak!" Li Yu teased with a wink.
"If you want to sing, just sing by yourself. I'm sorry I can't accompany you." Lu You was too lazy to pay attention to him and grabbed Tang Wan's little hand to heal himself.
Li Yu did not force it and turned his gaze to Xu Nian.
"Are you coming?"
"Okay, but I'll choose the song."
When Xu Nian came on stage, the whole atmosphere suddenly changed, and various neon anime hot-blooded songs, passionate songs, sweet songs, and sad songs took turns to be performed.
Fortunately, Li Yu had been learning Japanese for quite some time, so it wasn't difficult for her to sing a few anime songs.
I can only say that this is the episode that best fits the two-dimensional characters.
The two of them sang for half an hour straight, and their throats were almost smoking before they gave up their seats contentedly.
"My dear, do you want to sing?" Lu You asked.
Tang Wan ate the watermelon that the waiter had just brought, shook her head and said, "No hurry, wait a little longer."
"What are you waiting for?"
Tang Wan pursed her lips, lowered her voice, and said, "Wait until Linghua and Deng Rui finish singing, and then see how good they are."
Wang Linghua's idea coincided with Tang Wan's. After Li Yu and Xu Nian came down, she stuffed a microphone into Deng Rui's arms and urged him, "Hurry up, Deng Rui, it's your turn to sing."
Deng Rui glanced at Wang Linghua, ate the cantaloupe in his hand in a few bites, walked to the song machine with the microphone, and ordered three songs neatly.
Wang Linghua was very curious about Deng Rui's taste, so she took the tablet to take a look.
Naked - Eason Chan
Rumors - Pakho Chau
"Nirvana" - Leo Ku
Well, I haven't heard any of them.
Also, what is this "Naked"?
The name is so weird, is it an indecent pornographic song?
While Wang Linghua was confused, the prelude as fast as heavy rain sounded.
Deng Rui's eyes were fixed on the lyrics on the screen, and his emotions were quickly overwhelmed by the song.
"When we broke up, you turned away feeling guilty, saying you didn't want to be involved in the future. When I was working, sleeping, praying, and having fun, I was so focused on living a good life every day, but you were willing to meet me again after I was freed."
As soon as Deng Rui spoke, Wang Linghua's body trembled and goose bumps appeared all over her skin. The other four people also looked incredulous.
"Fuck! Old Deng is such a hidden talent!"
Everyone agreed with Li Yu's exclamation.
Deng Rui's voice used to be very ordinary, nothing special about it. But who would have thought that when he sang, it was extremely magnetic, as if there was an electromagnetic transmitter stuffed in his throat.
Deng Rui was unaware that everyone's impression of him had changed, he was just concentrating on singing.
The song "Naked" is very difficult, not because the required techniques are complicated, but because there are many lyrics, long sentences, and the sentences are closely connected. People who are not familiar with the song may easily slur their words, and people who are short of breath may easily become out of breath.
Wang Linghua originally wanted to listen to Deng Rui singing for fun, but after listening for a while she became absorbed in the singing.
It’s nothing, Deng Rui’s voice is just too magical.
After listening to "Naked", Wang Linghua was filled with emotion and the aftertaste was endless.
After listening to "Rumor", Wang Linghua frowned slightly and felt confused.
After listening to "The Ultimate Skill", Wang Linghua suddenly felt enlightened and profound.
After singing three songs, Deng Rui returned to his original position and raised his glass to drink water.
It was my first time singing in front of a crowd, and I was inevitably nervous at first, but after I let go and sang freely, I felt so relaxed inside.
After finishing a glass of water, Wang Linghua's slightly excited voice came into Deng Rui's ears.
"Deng Rui, why are the three songs you sang all Guigui's songs? Have you been hurt by a woman?"
Deng Rui's face darkened, blending into the dim environment around him. He said dissatisfiedly, "What a ridiculous song! Please be more respectful. This is called a sad love song."
"To give without asking for anything in return in a relationship knowing that you won't get a response, and yet still indulge in it and can't extricate yourself, what else can you be but a tortoise?"
Deng Rui opened his mouth, and closed it again the next second. He had nothing to say and no rebuttal.
"Whatever you say, just don't let your thoughts run wild. I sing sad songs simply because they sound good. It has nothing to do with my personal experience."
"So, have you ever been a turtle?"
Deng Rui sighed helplessly and asked, "Studying has consumed most of my time. Do you think I still have the energy to be a romantic?"
"It's hard to say. What if you have good time management? For details, please refer to a certain half-dead electric butt master Luo."
"It's so hard to talk to you, you should just go sing."
Everyone has their own preferences, and their favorite song styles are also different.
Li Yu and his wife are pure 2D fans, with an alarmingly high concentration. Tang Wan prefers JJ Lin, and even Lu You has become JM. Deng Rui likes Cantonese sad love songs, and he always talks about deep sorrow and love. Wang Linghua has a unique taste, and her playlist is relatively niche, mostly fresh folk songs, and no one present could sing along.
Although everyone has different preferences, there is no quarrel and the atmosphere is very harmonious.
Among the six, Lu You undoubtedly has the best skills, and JJ Lin's songs are in line with the public's aesthetic taste. The combination of the two is a top-notch enjoyment.
When Lu You sang, the other five people wouldn't even sing along, for fear of becoming the bad apple that spoils the whole bunch.
Following closely behind is Deng Rui, whose electric voice and heart-wrenching Cantonese love songs create a unique listening experience.
Li Yu and Xu Nian are the two most relaxed and energetic people. Whether they sound good or not is another matter, but they liven up the atmosphere.
Tang Wan was just a mascot. She sang less than four songs and her performance level was hard to describe. Her main task was to act as a human power bank and provide emotional value to Lu You.
As for Wang Linghua, her singing was okay, occasionally she was a little off-tune and her voice was broken, but it was harmless. Unfortunately, the song list was not well-known, so people found it difficult to enjoy it.
The group of six sang for more than three hours and ended perfectly with a song "King of Love Song" just after ten o'clock.
At the counter on the first floor, Tang Wan took out a bulging red envelope and paid the money with reluctance on her face.
Including dinner and milk tea, today's consumption is about 600 yuan.
My heart is bleeding!
Xu Nian kindly asked her if she wanted to split the bill.
Tang Wan waved her hand and expressed her generosity.
No need! She has too much New Year's money to spend, a few hundred yuan is nothing to worry about!
Everyone walked out of the door.
A biting cold wind blew, and the remaining passion from singing was instantly cooled down.
"How are you going to get home?"
Lu You asked Deng Rui and Wang Linghua, but Li Yu and Xu Nian already had cars, so there was no need to worry.
Deng Rui looked at the time on his phone and said, "I came here by subway, so let's take the subway back!"
"My family and Deng Rui's are on the same route, so we're going together." Wang Linghua followed.
Deng Rui glanced at Wang Linghua strangely but said nothing.
"Is there still a subway at this time?" Tang Wan asked.
"The subway will extend its operating hours during holidays. Unless something unexpected happens, it will be more than enough to catch the last train," Wang Linghua replied.
Lu You originally wanted to suggest driving them a ride, but gave up after hearing what he said.
"Be careful on the road, and see you in the capital when school starts." Lu You reminded casually.
Deng Rui smiled and replied, "You too."
After a brief farewell, the six people split into three groups and headed in different directions.
Deng Rui and Wang Linghua walked side by side, heading towards the subway station.
When they came to an intersection, the green light turned into a red light, and the two stopped at the same time.
There were more and more people waiting around, and Wang Linghua didn't want to be close to strangers, so she had to move closer to Deng Rui.
"By the way, are our families really on the same route?" Deng Rui asked abruptly.
Wang Linghua fiddled with her bangs and said, "There is only one line to the nearby subway station. If you want to take the subway, you must go the same way."
"Oh, so that's how it is. I thought you knew my address."
"You didn't tell me, how would I know your home address?"
The traffic light number across the road finally changed, jumping from 99 to 98.
"I remember that the master and the others drove here, why didn't you let them take you back?" Deng Rui asked again.
The night wind made her hands cold and painful. Wang Linghua had no choice but to put her hands in her coat pockets and said, "It's not good to keep bothering others."
"Yeah, I understand."
Wang Linghua's brows tightened, and she felt that Deng Rui was hinting at something. Then she said in a more serious tone, "Don't think too much."
"What am I thinking about?"
Deng Rui put on an innocent expression, which made Wang Linghua's blood pressure soar.
"You are such a disgusting person!"
"You're not that likable."
"Who said that? I don't know how many boys had a crush on me during high school!" Wang Linghua retorted.
Deng Rui disagreed and said calmly: "The three major illusions in life are that the phone rings, someone knocks on the door, and he likes me."
Wang Linghua was so angry that her teeth itched. She glared at Deng Rui and said, "If God allows me to fulfill one wish, I will make sure you can't speak for the rest of your life!"
"Women's opinions!" These four words expressed Deng Rui's disdain. "If it were me, I would definitely wish for a strong country and a prosperous people."
"Okay, you are awesome. I, Wang Linghua, am ashamed of myself!"
Cross the road and enter the subway station.
Coincidentally, the two of them were going home by subway in the same direction, so they got on the same car.
As the last bus approached, there were still many passengers in the car, but there was enough space left.
The two found a corner and stood against the wall.
We wandered along the way and before we knew it, the next stop was Linghua's get-off point.
Wang Linghua looked at Deng Rui who was standing opposite in a daze and asked, "Deng Rui, when are you going to the capital?"
Deng Rui came back to his senses and said, "Three or four days later, the details are not yet determined."
"Plane or high-speed rail?"
“High-speed rail, cheap tickets.”
"Do you mind having more companions?"
Deng Rui was stunned for a moment, then reacted and asked, "Do you want to go to the capital with me?"
"Yes, it's too boring to take a long-distance bus alone." Wang Linghua said truthfully.
"I don't mind it too much."
"That's fine! I'll add you as my WeChat friend and send you my ID number. You can also buy the train ticket for me."
Just as Wang Linghua finished speaking, the subway stopped at the station.
"Book your train tickets and tell me a day in advance so I can pack my luggage."
"Okay, got it."
